Could look really nice on an xA. Depends on the theme of the car, though - post some pics of what they're going on.

This is my car, with the rims. I wish I had a straighter shot of the wheels because the lip and angle make it look weird., but you get the basic idea

They are the giovanna wheels...so they suck in real life when you see them?¿? Good to know, because they are a bit of money. You see the chrome ones or machined, and what was it that you didn't like.

I'd hate to order them, and then be mad.

Okay so not so much quality as the cost for the look or name.

It's nice to know before I drop the flow.

ya i would do some more looking around, i wanted some giovanna wheels for my xb and my local guy said hes had nothing but bad luck with the wheels hes got all chrome ones of course he said its turned yellow after month. but the machiend ones like your looking at looked fine to me so i guess its just if you want to spend the cash. i dont mean to scare you away from these wheels at all i think theyll great

Nope you're not scaring me at all. I've got wheels on order, different brand and look. With 8 weeks until they ship, I've just been rethinking styles and ideas.

If my wheels would just friggin ship I'd not even be looking at all. I like the info, and will keep looking. I'm just looking for a different style than the black with a chrome lip that 90% of the scion owners buy.
